APPARATUS FOR TILTlNG BARRELS.

To all whom, it may concern:

tus. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the apparatus. Flg. 3 1s a side vlew showing the apparatus in its position when 1n use.

This invention is constructed of two pieces of wood a, framed together at a short distance apart parallel to each other and fixed together by cross-pieces Z) with bolts 0 and nuts. At the top end of the frame I hinge a back plate (Z to one of the bolts. This said back plate d adjusts itself to any angle against a Wall 2 or the like. At the bottom end of the frame I mount two small wheels 6, which rest on the top of the barrel 1 near the bung-hole. Above the wheels 6 I mount an iron block f, pivoted on each side in suitable bearings g. The aforesaid block f is drilled through in order to receive a long screwed bolt it freely and nut z'.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 12, 1903. Serial No. 143,061.

At the head of the bolt is a hole j, inv which I insert a link it (or links) of a chain, which end link is connected to a metal catch, clip, or hook Z for gripping the edge of the barrel 1, as in Fig. 3.

On the screwed end of the bolt below the block above described is a nutc' for adjusting the apparatus in order to tip the barrel 1 to any desired position, as in Fig. 3.
